My four-year old would love this! What a fantastic family event. We don't have any fall activities planned, and I just started working again...but this would be perfect for us!
ReplyDeleteHi Liza! I was just looking at this event last week. Who doesn't love a nice fall festival - especially with such a great music line-up and located at Callaway Gardens! It's always hard to get out there since it seems far from Atlanta, but this would be the perfect occasion. Would love to go! Thanks for offering this fun giveaway. :)
ReplyDeleteI have never been to Callaway and would love to go. Times have been hard for my family. I have heard of all the wonderful things offered there and I still have not be able to go. I would be a great way for me to spend some time with my husband as our anny. is coming up in Oct. Thanks for letting me know about this.
ReplyDeleteHey Everyone - Callaway isn't so far from Atlanta - just 70 miles from Downtown and about 90 minutes from the norther suburbs.
ReplyDeleteI'd love to go because I really want to see my favorite band, Parachute, there. =)
ReplyDeleteHi Liza...
ReplyDeleteWhat a perfect combination: great weather, beautiful venue, beautiful music and good food. I'd so love to be a part of this festival this year. Not to mention that I've been a loyal, long-time fan of Shawn Colvin (since 1989!!!) and would love any opportunity to see her locally. It's been forever since I've been to Callaway Gardens, so I'm well overdue for a visit! I hope I win some passes!
Love the fall and love Callaway Gardens. Fall is my favorite time of year because the humidity dies down and we get to enjoy the cooler weather. Thanks for a great contest, my husband and I would really enjoy the drive and love the bands that are playing!
ReplyDeleteI would love to go to Callaway Gardens because I have never been and it would be an awesome time to spend with my daughter. Callaway Gardens is definitely on my "bucketlist"!!
